Hello coding enthusiast!

Today, I will show you how to write your very first Python program, and yes, you can do it in under a minute.

Have you ever wondered how programmers type code with speed and confidence?

Well, they all start from this simple line of Python:

print('Hello World')

After learning this one line, your confidence might boost by 25%, and the remaining motivation will come with consistent practice.

A Quick Note:

If you haven’t installed Python yet or don’t know how to open a coding environment, check out the step-by-step guide for beginners here, where I guide you step-by-step (no stress, I promise).

Your First Python Program:

print('Hello World')

This is your first step toward a beautiful coding journey. Let’s break this line down into simple chunks:

What is the print() Function in Python?

print() is a built-in function in Python used to display a message on your screen.
Think of it like this:

“Hey Python, please display the message inside the quotes.”

When you run this line, Python reads it and prints only the message inside the quotes.

What Can You Write Inside print()?

You can write:

Text (e.g; print('Hello'))

Numbers (e.g. print(42))

Math expressions (e.g. print(5 + 3))

All of this should be inside the parentheses, and text must be inside quotes.

Breaking Down Your First Python Line:

1. What is ‘Hello World’?

This is the message you’re asking Python to display. You can replace it with any sentence you like. For example:

print("Hello, my name is Qurat-ul-ain. I write blogs about Python and help beginners start their coding journey.")

2. What Are () in Python?

These are called parentheses. You use them to pass information (called arguments) to a function.

3. What Are ‘ ‘ or ” ” (Quotation Marks)?

Quotation marks tell Python that what’s inside is text (also called a string), but it is not code.
